Stitches Used

Special Terms

1. Beg-Petal: Beginning Petal Stitch—
[Yarn over] twice, insert hook in
indicated ch-space and draw up a loop,
[yarn over and draw through 2 loops]
twice (2 loops remain on hook), yarn
over, insert hook in same ch-space and
draw up a loop, yarn over and draw
through 2 loops (3 loops remain on
hook), yarn over and draw through all
loops on hook.

2. Petal: Yarn over, insert hook in
indicated ch-space and draw up a loop,
yarn over and draw through 2 loops on
hook (2 loops remain on hook), [yarn
over] twice, insert hook in same chspace
and draw up a loop, yarn over and draw through 2 loops on hook (4 loops remain on hook), yarn over and draw through all loops on hook.

Note

1. To change color in join of round, insert
hook in first st of round, yarn over with new color and draw through all loops on hook. Continue work with new color. Fasten off old color.

6. Rnd 5 (WS): With WS facing, join B with sl st in any ch-sp, ch 2, Beg-Petal in same ch-space, ch 3, [Petal in next ch-space, ch 3] 11 times; join with slip st in top of Beg-Petal and change to C
in join, turn.

Assembly

2. Join Rows 1 and 2: Holding neighboring squares so that the wrong sides are together, and working through both loops
of both thicknesses, join D with sc through any corner ch-1 space of first pair of squares (first square in Row 1 and first square in Row 2), ch 2, skip next 2 dc, sc in next dc, [ch 2, skip next ch-space, sc in next dc] twice, ch 2, skip next dc, sc in next dc, [ch 2, skip next ch-space, sc in next dc] twice, ch 2, skip next 2 dc, sc in next corner ch-1 space, *ch 1, sc in first corner ch-1 space of next pair of squares, ch 2, skip next 2 dc, sc in next dc, [ch 2, skip next ch-space, sc in next dc] twice, ch 2, skip next dc, sc in next dc, [ch 2, skip next ch-space, sc in next dc] twice, ch 2, skip next 2 dc, sc in next corner ch-1 space; repeat from * across row—80 sc and 70 ch-spaces. All ten squares of Row 1 should now be joined to all ten squares of Row 2. The remaining edges of the squares are not yet joined. They will be joined later.

3. Join Rows 3–8: Join squares of Row 3 to squares of Row 4 in same manner as squares of Row 1 and Row 2 were joined, Join squares of Rows 5–8 to squares of previous row in same manner.

4. Join Squares Widthwise: Join remaining edges of squares in similar manner as lengthwise joins. When a corner between squares is reached work the ch-1, taking the work over the previous ch-1 at the corner) and continue joining the next pair of squares.

Finishing

1. Edging: With RS facing, join D with sc in any corner ch-1 space of throw.

2. Rnd 1: Work 2 more sc in same corner ch-1 space, ch 2, skip next 2 dc, sc in next dc, [ch 2, skip next ch-space, sc in next dc] twice, ch 2, skip next dc, sc in next dc, [ch 2, skip next ch-space, sc in next dc] twice, ch 2, skip next 2 dc, *sc in next ch-1 space, ch 1, sc in fi rst ch-1 space of next square, ch 2, skip next 2 dc, sc in next dc, [ch 2, skip next ch-space, sc in next dc] twice, ch 2, skip next dc, sc in next dc, [ch 2, skip next ch-space, sc in next dc] twice, ch 2, skip next 2 dc; repeat from * around; join with slip st in first sc.
